I have been living in Vancouver for just about a year now - I would have started my internship at the Aquarium around this time last year *is too lazy to go into archives and check dates* but in some ways it still doesn't really feel like home. I love the mountains, and I have favorite restaurants, and I'm definitely starting to put down roots. I'm ( Read more... )

Okay, I've been figuring out my itinerary for the next week or two and this is what I have far:

...Not nearly enough time to get everything done.

My parents want me to "come home" for a while, but everything I need to get done, from packing to saying goodbye to people, needs to be done in Halifax (with the exception of seeing Suman). So I'm headed ( Read more... )

His mother is his secretary and COMPLETELY disorganised - she was calling people in according to no apparent order. We were comparing our official appointment times and ( Read more... )

The nice thing about having a tiny, tiny kitten is that he's really more like a baby. Loki was very little trouble. He slept most of the time, and when he was awake, he played quietly on the couch with purse straps while we packed up my car. He DID hide under the sofa occasionally.

Just finished cleaning up my parents' kitchen after their little dinner party. I turned up their stereo (playing Rod Stewart's American Songbook albums) and washed the dishes.

Well, hopefully I only have a couple ( Read more... )
